In short: skiing in Slovenia is within easy reach of Belgrade — Maribor Pohorje is the country’s largest ski resort with a gondola near the city centre, Vogel rises above Lake Bohinj to 1,800 m, and Krvavec has 30 km of slopes. We drive door to door, carry ski gear on request, and the price starts at €70 per person one way.
Slovenia is the closest winter destination we drive to — closer than any of our summer ones. This guide covers the ski resorts you actually reach with our minibus, what awaits you there and how to get to them without your own car.
Skiing in Slovenia: which resorts we cover
We drive to six Slovenian towns, and three of them are gateways to proper ski resorts: Maribor for Maribor Pohorje, Bohinj for Vogel and Kranj for Krvavec. Near Celje there is also Rogla, on Zreče Pohorje.
All of them are reached from the towns you stay in, without your own car. Our other Slovenian destinations — Bled (Belgrade to Bled transfer) and Ptuj (Belgrade to Ptuj transfer) — are more about towns and spas in winter, which we cover in the guide to thermal spas in Slovenia.
Maribor Pohorje — the largest ski resort in Slovenia
Maribor (Belgrade to Maribor transfer) is a town where you reach the cable car by city bus — line 6 runs to the lower station. The gondola ride to the top takes about ten minutes.
Maribor Pohorje is the largest ski resort in Slovenia, with around 42 kilometres of slopes and some twenty lifts. Easy and intermediate runs dominate, so it suits families and beginners alike. It is also known for night skiing — it is regarded as having the longest floodlit run in Europe.
For travellers that brings one practical advantage: you stay in the town, with all its restaurants and prices, yet reach the slopes without driving up a mountain.
There is also a joint ski pass for four Pohorje centres — Maribor Pohorje with Areh, Rogla, Kope and Jakec Trije Kralji — covering some 70 kilometres of slopes between them.
Vogel above Lake Bohinj
Bohinj (Belgrade to Bohinj transfer) is the starting point for Vogel, a ski resort in the heart of Triglav National Park. The cable car leaves from the valley, about five kilometres from the centre of Bohinj, and in five minutes reaches Rjava skala at 1,535 metres; the slopes climb to 1,800 metres.
Vogel is known for its views — from the runs you look down on Lake Bohinj far below, with the peaks of the Julian Alps behind. After Krvavec, it is the highest-set of the resorts we drive to.
Krvavec and Rogla
Krvavec is the highest of the resorts we cover — the slopes run from 1,450 to 1,971 metres, 30 kilometres in total. It is reached from Kranj (Belgrade to Kranj transfer).
Rogla lies on Zreče Pohorje at 1,517 metres, with 13.5 kilometres of alpine runs and 24 kilometres of cross-country trails. Gentle and level, it is regarded as a family resort; it sits near Celje (Belgrade to Celje transfer).
Skiing in Slovenia without your own car
This is why people call us in winter. Driving to the Slovenian ski resorts in winter means snow, ice and a night on the road — plus winter tyres, chains and the risk of closed roads.
With a minibus none of that is your concern. We collect you at your address in Belgrade and drop you off in front of your accommodation; an experienced driver who covers the route regularly takes the wheel while you sleep through the journey. Departure is at night, around 23:00, and the route runs through Croatia; the border check is passed only once, at Batrovci. More on the route: minibus transfer Serbia to Slovenia.
Ski gear in the minibus
We carry skis and snowboards on request at the time of booking — we need to know in advance because of how space is arranged in the vehicle. Once it is arranged, the gear travels with you at no extra charge.
If you would rather not bring your own, rental is available both on Pohorje (at the lower cable car station) and on Rogla, so many travellers arrive with nothing but their ski clothing. Both centres also run ski schools.
A winter holiday in Slovenia for the school break and New Year
Two periods stand out. The winter school break is the most sought after because whole families travel, and Pohorje and Rogla suit children best — gentle runs and ski schools. New Year calls for the earliest booking; both accommodation and slopes are at their fullest then.
If you are free to choose, the calmest skiing is in the second half of January and early March — the snow is still good and the crowds far smaller.
Skiing in Slovenia: the price of the transfer
The transfer to every Slovenian destination starts from €70 per person one way — the lowest price in our offer, as Slovenia is also the closest. A return ticket costs less than two one-way tickets, and there are better terms for children under two and for groups of four or more.
Payment is made to the driver on the day of departure, with no deposit. All prices are on the price list, and what the amount depends on is explained in the guide on how much a minibus transfer costs. Lift pass and accommodation prices change every season, so check those with the resorts themselves.
Frequently asked questions
Which Slovenian ski resorts do you drive to?
To the towns from which you reach Maribor Pohorje (Maribor), Vogel (Bohinj), Krvavec (Kranj) and Rogla (near Celje). We drive to the towns, and the resorts are within easy reach from there.
Which resort is the largest?
Maribor Pohorje — around 42 kilometres of slopes and some twenty lifts, the largest in Slovenia. The gondola sets off close to the centre of Maribor and is reachable by city bus.
Do you carry skis and snowboards?
Yes, on request at the time of booking — we need to know in advance because of how space is arranged in the vehicle. Once arranged, the gear travels with you.
How much does the transfer to Slovenia cost?
From €70 per person one way, for every Slovenian destination. Exact amounts and return fares are on the price list.
Do I have to drive on snow?
No. That is exactly why people choose a minibus in winter — no winter tyres, no chains and no night driving on ice. A driver who covers the route regularly takes the wheel while you sleep.
Which resort is best for children?
Pohorje and Rogla — both have mainly easy and intermediate runs, and both run ski schools. Pohorje has the added advantage that you stay in Maribor itself.
